The final consumption of brown coal briquettes in the industrial sector in France is projected to slightly increase over the period from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 22.32 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024, it is forecasted to rise incrementally each year to reach 24.82 thousand tonnes by 2028. If consumption in 2023 was lower, this reflects a steady upward trend.
Year-on-year variations reveal a steady growth pattern with minor increases annually, while the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years indicates a moderate average growth rate.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental policies that may impact the use of coal briquettes.
- Technological advancements in alternative energy sources that could decrease reliance on brown coal.
- Industrial shifts towards cleaner energy solutions and how these might alter consumption patterns.
